Knowing Your Customer vs. Looking for the Sale

How well do you know your sales and service customers? Not just the customers who have purchased a car in the last month, or the ones who get their cars serviced on a regular basis, but all of your customers? Considering your dealership has thousands of contacts in its DMS, it’s highly unlikely —and unrealistic—that you know your customers well.

Beyond the ORP: Creating a Single, Cohesive Marketing Strategy

Owner retention programs (ORPs) are one of the most used marketing tools and have been used by dealerships for many years. However, most ORPs are run in a silo, separate from the rest of the dealership’s marketing strategy. This practice results in an inconsistent, less than optimal experience for dealership customers. The way it currently works is dealers sign up with…See More
